Natural hair seems to be on everyone’s lips nowadays. It’s so talked about that relaxed hair is left in the dust when it comes to finding good tips on growing it. Want to grow your relaxed hair so long and silky that naturalists would be jealous?
These five tips on growing relaxed hair are just for you.
1. Moisturizing:
Keeping your hair properly moisturized is an excellent way to promote the growth of relaxed hair. Whether you like it or not, your hair loses moisture every day. It’s even worse if you live in a dry climate. Dryness will cause your hair to frizz, become brittle, and break, which you do not want.
Moisturizing your hair on a regular basis to keep them flexible and malleable, reducing breakage. Bagging is a cool way to keep your hair moist. Apply moisturizer to dry hair and cover with a plastic cap for 2-3 hours or overnight. Bagging prevents hair moisture loss and thus allows it to grow.
2. Reduce heat:
As we all know, heat causes dryness, and as previously stated, dryness causes hair breakage. If you enjoy using blow dryers, hair straighteners, and other heat-generating hair tools, you are causing serious damage to your hair. Hair strands are sensitive to temperature, and they will easily fall off if it’s too hot for them to handle.
If you must use a heat tool to dry your hair, use heat spray. Heat sprays form a protective barrier around the hair, allowing the hot temperature to do its work without causing damage to your hair.

3. Deep conditioning and hair masks:
Deep conditioning is the treatment of your hair with special hair products. Deep conditioner hydrates, nourishes and repairs damage to the hair and scalp. It keeps the cuticle of your hair properly sealed and makes your hair shiny and glossy.
Hair masks also aid in the nutrition of the hair. It is relatively easy to find because it can be easily made at home using simple ingredients such as milk, coconut oil, castor oil, honey, blended bananas, and so on.
4. Diet:
Never underestimate the importance of a well-balanced diet. You may believe that your diet has no effect on hair growth, but it does. Your hair is also affected by the nutrients you consume.
Proteins are an excellent source of nutrients that promote hair growth. It aids in the restoration of damaged scalp and hair after relaxing. Protein is abundant in dairy products, beans, meats, and other foods. Vitamins are also essential. Vitamin C aids in collagen production, a key component of hair.
5. Always pay attention to split ends:
The tips of your hair are exposed to more hardship than any other part of your hair. They are old and very weak because of the amount of pressure they undergo. These ends then fray and split, forming what we call “split ends.”
Regular trimming is a good way to manage it and it also prevents the damage from affecting the rest of the hair.
